We managed to take a holiday this week! Despite the super rainy weather it was great :)
On monday we took a “holiday at home” day. We went to the breathing space cafe at indooroopilly for breakfast then caught a train into south bank where we visited the science centre. From there, we had lunch at southbank and went for a play on the park before catching the train home again.

and we went on a bit of a shopping spree!…

 

shopping

 

…which resulted mainly in lots of great bargains (new clothes) for daddy - but some super cute nighties and socks for the girls too (amongst other things)

lots of fun!

 

we’re back home now and slowly getting ready for the weekend! Jer and I are heading away for our church couples retreat overnight tomorrow night. My dad will be having the kids for a little bit in the evening, then Adrian will be looking after the girls here and Julia is taking the brave step of looking after malachi for the night ;)

It’s not finished yet either - obviously needs a few inches taken off the bottom and it needs a zip :) trying to get her to “smile normally” is a bit of a challenge at the moment :D

Brianna is going to be a flower girl in Erica and Joshua’s wedding next month so I made a trial of the pattern Erica picked for her - it’s super cute :) (haven’t done the zip or the hem yet).

I’ve cut a purple one out for Bella too (can’t leave her without a new dress if Binna’s getting one ;))  - will finish it later today I hope! Still no new sewing machine, or contact from the seller :( i’m hoping this isn’t my first bad ebay experience :(
